  14. India could offer to take over Sri Lanka in return for taking on Sri Lanka debt and allowing Sri Lanka to be run as state from New Delhi. The alternative could be China seeking to bailout Sri Lanka in return for ownership of strategic assets in Sri Lanka and building military, naval and air bases. India could also seize assets of the Rajapaksas, remove all Rajapaksas from Government and prosecute all the Rajapaksas.

  28.  @swarbhatia5453  A referendum by Sri Lankans could decide whether they choose IMF and World Bank bailouts, bailouts by China or bailouts by India. The referendum would also provide information about the benefits, costs and risks for bailout options. It's a very difficult decision with painful economic conditions but the people need and have the right to be given the choice.

  34. China's influence in Australia and in many other countries extends to universities. Australia media in recent years reported some students protesting against criticism of China in Australia.

  46.  Harold Albert  US national debt in 2022 is over USD $32 trillion. Russia's national debt in 2022 is a little over USD $310 billion. Data from Statista. US economy may be 90% larger than Russia but the US debt is more than 1000 times greater than Russia. There were reports I believe elsewhere that Russia has had over USD $340 billion in assets frozen by the West including the US. Therefore Russia cannot default on it's debts when its frozen assets are greater than it's debts. The US however can never repay it's debts and can only repay some of its debts through war as the US is a war economy. Hence the reason for the Great Reset by the billionaires of the World Economic Forum.
